Reception

Reviews of his film adaptation of Thérèse et Isabelle have been generally favorable,[5][6][7][8][9][10] although not with all reviewers.[11][12]

Notes

According to one film reviewer, Radley Metzger's films, including those made during the Golden Age of Porn (1969–1984), are noted for their "lavish design, witty screenplays, and a penchant for the unusual camera angle".[13] Another reviewer noted that his films were "highly artistic—and often cerebral ... and often featured gorgeous cinematography".[14] Film and audio works by Metzger have been added to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.[15][16][17][18]
